I’m making a retro gaming console for my gfs burner camp. It plays 90s anime on a projector, heavy on the cyberpunk feel. For their next festival they want a retro gaming console and I took on the task. I want to 3d print sand and then paint and enclosure, add some leds and maybe some el wire. I am looking for inspiration pictures mostly in that 90s future style.
My search attempts are kinda full of modern cyberpunk or diy handhelds.
So if anyone can point me in a direction or has anything offhand I’d appreciate it.
Also, if anyone knows of any lesser known 90s anime’s with a futurish twinge to it I’d appreciate recommendation for our projector.
Take a look at cyberdecks. From what I gather they’re actual computers (sometimes just a raspberry pi compute module for instance) but in alternative formats, so their “shells” are always different.
I was actually looking at that since I’m using a pi. The situation is that I’m making it for a festival camp for these regional burns (kinda like small burning man festivals for people who know people and don’t wanna do the big one for whatever reason) the camp has been tested once and they want another activity, the retro game console. I want to use a 15-17’ screen and add some 2 player games. The size was leading me towards bigger 90s style crt as an enclosure, but with a more old school cyberpunk vibe. The akira style computers I saw were too much of a mainframe, the serial experiment pain ones weren’t cyberpunky enough. I saw a few more but they didn’t inspire me.
Sorry for the ramble; I’ve had some drinks tonight. Maybe I will look at cyberdecks and expand the style to something bigger
